- An examination and, where needed, X-rays
- Preparing the tooth and taking impressions
- A temporary crown while the permanent one is made
- Fitting and bonding the final crown or bridge
Who it helps

Crowns & Bridges: common questions
How long do crowns last?
With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, crowns often last many years.
Is a bridge removable?
No. A bridge is fixed in place and is cleaned like your natural teeth.
